The reason given for the shutdown
was inability to obtain a federal loan
to pay coal royalties to the Philadel
phia & Reading Coal & Iron Company
and ether creditors, including miners
who have unpaid wages due them dat
ing from last October. Animated by
fear that the company would not pay
them their wages, the miners recently
struck.

Trial and error system reveals

Tr/ the acid test—
Then try the alkali—
Try them both together—
Then measure what is left in the
crucible.
NIRA built the crucible—
NRA was the public experiment—
Business men—"industry"—had to

The purpose of the experiment was
to develop co-operation—
But the world saw what happened
"in the gold-fish bowl"—
"Co-operation" was just a Greek

Which not even the Greeks among

"Fair competition" was just two
words—
Which contradicted each other.
"Emergency" was just a chance to
take advantage of others—
"Social security" was called plain
communism—
"Rights of labor" meant freedom
to sign a yellow dog contract—
"Collective bargaining" was accom
plished by posting notices in fac

These were what went into the
laboratory crucible—
These were the chemical elements

Along with them went the millions

the Organized Toilers, etc., etc.
Q.—What is a shop card?
A.—A shop card is a printed sign
which is displayed in the window or
on the wall of all shops and business
places whose employes are unionized.
Q.—Did organized labor from its
beginning fight child labor?
A.—Yes. The American Federation
of Labor, in its first constitution,
adopted in 1881, said: "We are in
favor of the passage of laws in the
several states forbidding the employ
ment of children under the age of 14
in any capacity under penalty of
fine and imprisonment."
Q.—Who said: "Whoever produces
anything by weary labor, does not
need a revelation from heaven to
teach him that he has a right to the
thing produced"?
A.—Robert G. Ingersoll.
Labor Measure Adopted In
Massachusetts
Boston (ILNS)—An anti-alien labor
bill which passed the Massachusetts
house and senate is awaiting the sig
nature of Gov, Curley. Under the
bill, all employes of the state who are
aliens and all employes of each of the
counties who are aliens would be de
prived of their jobs in December,
1936, if they have not become U. S.
citizens by that time.
It is necessary that two years
elapse between the taking out of first
and second papers of citizenship.
Hence, those who are now rushing for
the first papers will be disappointed
in December of next year unless the
bill is vetoed. Employed regularly by
the state and counties are numerous
doctors, nurses, orderlies, domestics,
foremen, matrons, guards, chemists,
skilled tradesmen, unskilled help,
etc., who have made no effort to shift
from British and Canadian citizenship
until the anti-alien labor legislation
was passed or on the verge of being
passed.
Labor organizations backed the bill
strongly.
